"While I was Assistant Vice President at Drexel University College of Medicine we engaged Ms. Hansen to give numerous talks, lectures and presentations to physicians, staff and medical students. She is always prepared, engaging and certainly knows her stuff."

"After seeing her speak and captivate audiences at numerous national meetings over the past 10 years, I booked Heather to deliver a keynote address on medical malpractice to a large group of orthopedic spine and neurosurgeons. She was the highlight of our meeting…incredibly well-prepared and insightful while eliciting lots of questions and great discussion."

"My introduction to Heather was when she presented to the Irish Hospital Consultant’s Association at their Annual Conference. She gave a wonderful talk on how better communication between doctor and patient can lead to better results. I was very enthused by her passion for improving the lives of both patients and healthcare staff; she does not react as one would typically expect a lawyer to behave. As a result of her talk I did some reflection and brought her message back to my ObGyn department. I continue to highlight the importance of good communication and would love to see her back to Ireland to undertake training and workshops for staff."

MARY MCCAFFREY – THE SCOTIA CLINIC

"Heather recently presented her workshop “Ask Better Questions, Master Objections and Use Evidence to WIN - at Bimbo Bakeries USA’s Women Leadership Forum in Charlotte, NC. She was outstanding, using real life litigation and courtroom examples to demonstrate how using your voice and asking questions will give you different perspectives and lead to increased credibility and self-confidence. Heather’s enthusiasm and passion empowered everyone in attendance! She owned the room. As one female leader said 'I could have listened to her all day!'"

KELLY WRIGHT - BIMBO BAKERIES USA

“Dynamic and Engaging” are two adjectives that come to mind when I think of Heather. I had the pleasure of seeing Heather deliver a lecture on medical malpractice to a large group of orthopedic spine and neurosurgeons. I was particularly impressed with her ability to connect with the audience; so impressed, that I invited Heather to deliver the keynote at our Women In Spine surgeon training program… her presentation was EXCEPTIONAL, and I have now had the pleasure of engaging Heather as the guest speaker at a multitude of programs. The unique perspective and passion that Heather effortlessly delivers her presentations has continued to be an audience favorite and she has earned my highest recommendation.
